Will the ProSource Kids Puzzle Alphabet and Numbers 36 Tiles with Edges Play Mat and the ProSource Puzzle Solid Play Mat for Kids - 36 tiles with edge intermix? Can I buy a set of each and cover a larger area using some from each set? Will the notches...

Yes you can. The corner edges go a specific way so it may confuse you at first, but they are universal tiles.

The alphabet puzzle is recommended for 3+ because there are small parts and the number and fish puzzles is 2+. If you have a child that places things in their mouth still I would hold off on the number puzzle also just because of the # 1.

I don't see anything other than the box size different. If you look how the pieces are stacked in the box, you will see what I mean. Both have 10 puzzle boards (5 - 2 sided boards). The less expensive one will do just fine, that's what we have for our daughter and she loves it. My daughter absolutely loves puzzles though, so I don't know if my opinion will help when talking about puzzles! We have puzzles (panorama) that adults can't do and she does them....If your child likes puzzles, your child will enjoy this one!

Yes you can connect multiple sets and yes the borders come apart just like the puzzle pieces do. I personally love this set. It has saved my floors and my children's heads. My ONLY complaint is that my kids like to pull it apart so I am constantly putting the pieces back together. Other then that it is really great!

I gave it as a gift so I don't know how many track pieces. I ended up mounting it to a board and gluing them down. My grandson does not use a mat with his.

Yes! There are some ideas of how to build it and any marble works fine with it. If your kids are anything like mine, you'll need to replace lost marbles eventually. :) This is a fabulous set. My siblings and I played with Marbleworks for hours as kids and now we are buying additional sets for our kids. Enjoy!

I would say one box per child is sufficient. I have 4 children ages 5,3, 2, and 2 and they all have their own box to play with. It's really and awesome molding toy. As a mom, I like kinetic sand so much better than PlayDoh. Kinetic sand doesn't dry out like PD and it doesn't stick to anything and everything like PD does. Such a fun sensory toy for kids of all ages. My husband even thinks it's pretty great :-)

Personally, I would buy as many as your budget allows. My two kids have had these for about 5 years now, and we have collected over 200 pieces. I don't know how old your child is, but kids build larger and more complex structures as they get older!! They still love the magna tiles even at age 7 and 5!!

Yes, these tiles are the same sizes as the other sets my friends bring when we get together to play. Same size, same characters on tiles. My set came with tile racks with pushers, some do not.

Yes, all 6 pieces have interlocking borders. Then they supply, if I remember correctly, 8 strips that you can use to make a finished border.

Yes, but the letters will be different colors. There's are 28 blocks and 4 sides of every block has a letter (the other two sides have a number or math symbol and an animal picture).

I'm not sure because my son doesn't use all the pieces at one time. He likes to make different configurations with the pieces.

I have not paid attention to how many pieces I put on the side boards at a time, however each side board is about half the size of the main board and should easily fit 500 pieces. I have not had any problems with running out of room while sorting or putting together any puzzles. So far since receiving the porta puzzle I have completed 7 puzzles. In short, although I have not directly counted yes they should fit 500 on each side.

Yes the letters and numbers do come out so it can be a learning puzzle as well as a mat.

Board size is 19.5"x19.5"; Tile sizes are the same; Alphabet is double: A-16,B-4,C-6,D-8,E-24,F-4,G-5,H-5,!-13J-2,K-2,L-7,M-6,N-13,O-15,P-4,Q-2,R-13,S-10,T-15,U-7,V-3,W-4,X-2,Y-4,Z-2,Blank-4.It takes my wife and I about 2hrs per game and the scores are much larger. Hope this helps.

The tiles are the standard mah jongg size as listed in other answers below. I have played with many different sets over the years and the tiles all come in a standard size. The material they are made of may be different. These are an off white color. Very new, colorful character designs.

I have found the side boards won't hold 500 pieces each. Even with this I really like the PortaPuzzle because I can put the puzzle away when not able to work on it. I'm very happy with my purchase.
